Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

WOW! Racecougar... Booo-yahh!! That metal work looks great!!! Way to get at it!

Stopped over at my buddy Keith's Friday and he had some light fixtures laying there in his garage, so I asked him if he was putting up some more lights, and he said "Nope you are." I think he was tired of working in the dark at my place.

My brother Johnny came up Friday night and helped me out, so I got some lights up in the garage. Saturday wired a couple more regular outlets, and one 220 outlet for my stick welder.

Then started parting out the 63 doors I had bought for the vent-window assemblies - got one stripped. Try to get the other done tonight...

I put a tarp on mine this mornin. Seems like it wants to rain in my neck of the woods.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks! :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Stripped the other 63 door for parts, then finished taking my fleetside bed sides apart.

Cleaned out the garage & with the back half of the 62's frame showing I now need to build a cab dolly to go totally frame off.

Put a dent in the bank account. Scored complete used side trim for my 65 C10 long fleet, and ordered a new front bed panel, wheel tubs, and stainless bed strips and bolts. Almost time to start a project thread!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

ordered some engine parts and sent body out to paint

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Rain? In Oregon? That's strange. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Actually we are havin a drier spring than norm. Its usually raining cats and dogs this time of year. Last year we had snow! My poor truck! No wonder it raddles!:chevy::lol::lol: Anyway gonna pull the tarp off today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Painted the cab white and the hood black to match the rest of the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the carb swap done to a Holly 4412, replaced the distributor, voltage regulator. Need to get a bigger air cleaner and replace valve cover gaskets. This weekends project so I can use it without fear of fire due to valve covers leaking oil on the exhaust manifold.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got my trailing arms back from powdercoat. Got them in with only one extra trip to the hardware store!:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks good but it would look beter with my cab on there!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You still have that cab? I am almost ready for it. I am selling some wheels and tires then I can buy your cab

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My buddy blasted the stock 78 HD spindles I had left over from the 62's front end conversion; then I primed and painted them to put into inventory in case I need to adjust ride heighth at some point.

Changed the starter in my 90 K2500 because it was toast.

Cut all the old brake lines and bits of wire from the back half of the 62 - pondering the next move...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Painted my 4 barrel intake today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished up replacing all my head bolts with new Fel-Pro bolts with sealant already applied. Now I have to redo the valve lash, since I had to loosen the rockers to get the socket in between them. Not too much work left to have an engine ready to be dropped in. Now I have to get my firewall and frame cleaned up and repainted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pulled the 62 outside and cut the windshield out, started to strip the cab down... scraped what seemed like 5 lbs. of old Super Yellow of the ps door opening weather stripping.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the Comp Cams bumpstick swapped into the new engine today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Which comp cam did you use. I just put a Comp Extreme 4x4 270H in my 454 lately, what a huge difference.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I went with the High Energy 268H in a stock 350. Should be a lot more fun that the OEM cam I've been running for the last 21 years. I've got a Richmond 4 speed with 2.64 low gear and a Dana 44 in the rear with 4.10's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got my rear end buttoned up, installing the upper rear shock relocators, new tailights and housings, new rear wiring harness. Just waiting on the Lowes guys to bring my replacement compressor then I will install the springs and maybe the rear end tonight.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Why do your tail lights look off-centered??? Isn't there an aluminum housing for the lens to attach to?

They are kind of like that. They fit in the tail light recess. I ordered new ones from classic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just went out and put on the springs and shocks. Getting closer! I should have the rear end in Saturday and then the detail stuff starts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Took off the front gas tank to my MH, it was leaking. Took it to a radiator shop for repair.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

W O W ! Hood looks great!

I got the 283 mounted on the 62's chassis where it belongs...
used the standard bell housing to locate and drill for side mounts - bottom holes on 78 cross member were spot on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Vern The painter took his time to fill all the joints with seam sealer, so I never have to worry about water getting in the joints. Best way to go by far.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
